<p>The family of Joanna Yeates can begin to plan her funeral after her body was released, it has emerged.</p>
<p>A post-mortem examination was carried out last week on behalf of murder accused Vincent Tabak by a pathologist, Bristol Crown Court was told.</p>
<p>Michael Fitton QC, representing Tabak, told the preliminary hearing that Dr Nat Carey conducted the examination last Wednesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;With his consent we have consented to the release of the body of the deceased,&#8221; Mr Fitton told the court.</p>
<p>Tabak, who appeared in court via videolink from HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire, spoke only briefly during the 15 minute hearing.</p>
<p>A provisional trial date was fixed for October 4 and a plea and case management hearing will take place on May 4. Members of the public and journalists filled the gallery of Courtroom 9.</p>
<p>Tabak, 32, appeared on TV screens in court, sitting behind a table with his hands together to listen to the proceedings. Wearing glasses, a red jumper and dark trousers, the Dutch engineer spoke only to confirm his name and that he could hear the proceedings clearly.</p>
<p>Mr Justice Treacy, prosecutor Nigel Lickley QC, and Mr Fitton agreed the timetable for the trial.</p>
<p>At the conclusion of Monday&#8217;s proceedings, the judge told Tabak: &#8220;Your next appearance in court will be on May 4 by which time the case papers will have been served and you will see in detail what the allegations are against you. There will be a hearing to make the final arrangements for a trial which we expect to take place in October.&#8221;</p>
<p>No bail application was made and Tabak &#8211; Miss Yeates&#8217;s next-door neighbour &#8211; was remanded into custody.</p>
